I am in my early 20s and been waiting for the appropriate age to get a BBL but now that I am ready I have lost so much weight. I am 5’7 and weight about 150 Lbs. My main problem is how flat my butt area is and love handles. I am not sure if I have enough fat on my body for a major change in my butt area though. Realistically I know it won’t be a HUGE difference but would the results be good ? Or should I gain weight prior to surgery

Answer: BBL candidate Dear Kathy1601, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Would a BBL be worth the results? Hello and thank you for your question and sharing your photos. Based on these photos, you would be an excellent candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), which typically includes a 360 liposuction of the abdomen and flanks, and fat transfer for gluteal augmentation. You have plenty of fat to achieve a good result and I would not try to gain weight. Liposuction of the flanks will narrow down the waist for an hourglass appearance and adding volume to buttocks in combination with liposuction of the lower back is intended at creating a natural curvy look. With the use of VASER liposuction and proper surgical technique, excellent high definition liposuction can be performed. And with proper technique, there will be more than 90% survival of the transferred fat. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice.
